If you don’t want to leave it just hollow, you can add Feather wallet for Monero. Very lightweight, privacy and security focused wallet.

related to:

1 probably blocker (without looking any further) is that it’s unavailable from packages.debian.org. I could not even find an RFP (request for packaging).

Anyone interested could send an RFP to Debian.

Would also help to keep the related forum discussions in good shape:

At this point, no applications are installed by default sourced from Flathub.

The official Flatpak for Feather is not hosted on Flathub due to security concerns.

This means by default it will not be possible to install unverified or non-freedom software Flatpaks.

If this means that installing Flatpaks from remotes other than Flathub is not possible by default, I would ask you to reconsider.

I’m referring to users choosing to install Feather using Flatpak here, not whether Feather is installed on Whonix by default. Although, I would of course like to see the latter happen some day, if there is a way to achieve this without compromising our release security. (All releases must be bootstrappable, verifiably reproducible, and users must be able to easily verify the signature).

I’ll add or reword soon to say “from Flathub”.

Making it harder for the user to add custom Flatpak repositories such as Feather is:

  • not implemented,
  • not planned.
